NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. (Nov. 3, 2012) Sailors aboard the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) paint the ship's superstructure in preparation for the Week of Valor. Bataan is hosting the Navy-Marine Corps Classic put on by the city of Jacksonville which, along with its surrounding communities, has a long tradition of supporting Sailors and Marines. The game honors veterans, active and reserve service members, and military families. America's away team, the Navy and Marine Corps are reliable, flexible, and ready to respond worldwide on, above, and below the sea as well as ashore.
